About Lise
Lise earned semi-finalist at Nicholl Fellowship and Austin Film Festival, and won a seat at the Black List/WIF Feature Lab where she had one-on-one work sessions with Oscar-winner Graham Moore (THE IMITATION GAME) and Amy Baer (MARY SHELLEY, BRIAN BANKS).
Her writing spans adaptations, historical, and drama. In lighter fare, she writes rom-com and family.
A former NSA analyst and freelancer, Lise has also worked as motel desk clerk, substitute teacher, waitress, and as concierge at a senior living complex (which inspired her script, INDEPENDENT LIVING). After nine years overseas (UK, Australia), she is stateside now -- usually writing.
